I'm still happy to play.
In the movie as released, Jacob has a friend/mentor/guardian angel chiropractor called Louis, who inflicts disc crunching, pain/trauma/epiphany sessions.
In the clip, Louis quotes 14th century Christian mystic Meister Eckhart:
"Eckhart saw Hell too. You know what he said? 'The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you,' he said. 'They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and... you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth.' It's just a matter of how you look at it - you know?"
The deleted scene in the original post seems to have clear narrative links to the words of Eckhart. But it was cut from the final version.
Eckhart's mystical vision, The Chemist Apprentice, Jacob's journey - all have very different meanings depending on whether the deleted scene is included or not.
BZ Phoenix Tailwind is only one thread of multicoloured string trailing through this resonant Book of the Dead.
Like an Inca quipu...
